 Holiday Spectacles |
Grand Place Brussels 1000 Belgium +32 (0)2 513 8940 (Tourist information) |
Imagine a Christmas manger display filled with cute live animals and impressive wax figures and you've pictured this lifelike creche and brilliant light display that takes place each December to January in Brussels. The elegant Grand Place is the locale for the creche, and the surrounding Hôtel de Ville and the Musee de la Ville de Bruxelles are both lit up in the spirit of the season. The event is free and all ages come out to enjoy the festive spectacle. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 Athletes, music and fireworks |
119 Marathonlaan Brussels 1020 Belgium +32 (0)2 478 2025 http://www.sport.be/memorialva... |
Ivo van Damme, a talented Belgian runner (winning silver at the Montréal Olympics), died in a car crash. Brussels annually hosts this athletic celebration in his memory. This is a premier track & field grand prix of the world, although part of the IAAF Golden League, the Memorial Van Damme strives to be more than just a grand prix. Instead, it is a celebration for all those involved featuring live music (past artists featured have included disco-diva Gloria Gaynor), and a show-closing gigantic fireworks display.
